Generally Masirah is one of the best places in the world to discover the real spirit of Oman and the traditional middle east.
It is worth to get into this uniqe spirit.

Masirah has no night life in the sense of "night life".
If you are looking for parties, Masirah is definetely the wrong destination.

Masirah is the second biggest nesting area for Loggerhead turtles.
But ask someone to go with you. Turtles are really shy and you have to know how you should get in touch with them.
